Cogeneration at the Capitol Power Plant

The Capitol Power Plant has been in existence since 1910, serving the needs of Congress and Capitol Hill by providing the steam and chilled water needed to heat and cool nearly 18 million square feet of space. Cogeneration, also known as combined heat and power, allows for the production of two sources of energy—steam and power—from one fuel source, natural gas. Installing cogeneration will increase reliability, improve efficiency and help save taxpayer money.
